Landing on Draconia

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Draconia was the closest plant to the space station, so the Young Six decided to go there first. Their radar showed that the planet was 20,000,000 miles in diameter, so it would take a long time to map out. As they entered the atmosphere, they picked up strong readouts of cities and technology. Before finding a place to land, they took note of the fact that they saw numerous starships waiting to be launched. They took pictures of some of the cities and the ships because the design was like nothing they had ever seen in their life. There were several places where there didn't have any large cities, and this revealed that Draconia was a swamp planet. This meant they had to land carefully in order to avoid sinking in quicksand.

After touching down safely, they grabbed their weapons and disembarked. They did not know they had been seen. As they made their way to the outskirts of one of the cities, they heard the sounds of laser blasts behind them. As they turned around, they spotted a Draconian patrol. These aliens had four arms, spikes on their heads, and three eyes. Before the Young Six could shoot back and defend themselves, the soldiers shot blasts that knocked them unconscious.
